How to hang mirror in gym?

Hi,

I want to hang(paste) mirror in gym.

I got this mirror https://www.bunnings.com.au/living-elements-1500-x-900-x-5mm-flat-edge-mirror_p0029913

I got tape https://www.bunnings.com.au/permastik-5m-x-32mm-mirror-mounting-tape_p3962527

And this liquid nails

Do I need anything else like j bar or any other clips for extra support?

Re: hanging mirror in gym

Hello @mann, 

 

Just a friendly reminder that working with glass is dangerous, an accidental hit with a tool or when too much force is applied to the glass can cause it to shatter and cause injury. Please make sure to wear personal protection such as gloves and goggles when handling glass.

 

Thanks for sharing your question about hanging your mirror in the gym. Is it going on a flat surface and will it be fixed to a wall? If it is, the materials you have mentioned will be suitable to mount the mirror. The only other thing I would add is masking tape for the corners of the mirror. This will add extra support to the mirror while the adhesive is curing. Once the adhesive cures you can remove the masking tape.

 

My best advice is to make sure the silicone bead you place on the mirror is big and fat. It has to be taller than the mirror mounting tape you'll be putting behind the mirror.

 

If you need further assistance, please let us know.

 

Eric
